Description
JUST BACH... BUT NOT QUITE...
Notes
A single musical brain with four hands
The vocal writing in Bach’s cantatas, oratorios and masses is well-known for its technical challenges. Although intended for the human voice, the instrumental character of these lines is unmistakeable. Partly as a consequence of this, the Dutch organist and arranger Sybolt de Jong had the idea of ridding this often coloratura-like polyphony of its text and arranging various cantata movements for organ, the Bach instrument par excellence. The organ is an ideal medium for this music, and four hands and feet spring into action to bring the many simultaneous melodies to life. The CD series J.S. Bach, Cantata movements for organ four hands was born.
They searched in the cantatas for characteristic organ genres (such as preludium, fugue, suite, chorale prelude, organ concerto, etc.). In many instances Bach did not use the titles on the original cantata movements. However, from the perspective of structure and atmosphere, and using a little imagination, a parallel with typical organ genre is seldom far away.
CD IV: Christmas
The fourth and fifth CDs in this series were conceived from a single thematic basis. Each follows specific periods in the church year: the fourth CD follows the Christmas season up to Epiphany while the fifth follows the Easter season up to and including Whit.
Organist brothers
The Northern Dutch organist brothers De Jong have assigned discs in this series to great (Northern) Dutch city organs. Bolsward, Leeuwarden, Groningen, Kampen, Zwolle, Haarlem.
